Muscatine Police Department Officer Involved Shooting

On Friday, August 14, 2026, at approximately 5:12 p.m., a Muscatine County Sheriff’s Office Deputy attempted to stop a vehicle that was being driven recklessly in the area of Benham Avenue and Nebraska Street. The vehicle failed to stop and continued driving erratically at high rates of speed through residential neighborhoods, eluding the deputy.

The suspect vehicle subsequently crashed, and the driver fled the area on foot.
The driver was identified as 59-year-old Mark Lee Jackson of Des Moines. At approximately 5:27p.m. Jackson was located by law enforcement running in the 1200 block of Grandview Avenue. During the subsequent foot pursuit, Jackson fired at pursuing officers, striking a Muscatine Police Department Officer.

The officer was transported by the Muscatine Fire Department and is currently in stable condition.

This remains an active situation, and Jackson is still at large. Jackson has active warrants through Iowa State Corrections for a parole violation and through the Muscatine Police Department for Theft 2nd. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
